I suck. At least, that’s how I feel right now. I didn’t accomplish what I planned over the Thanksgiving break– getting completely caught up on grading. Nope, not even close. I try to rationalize that I deserve a break too, but the load of being continually behind weighs on me. Now I’m in the position of choosing what assignments can go without grading, how am I going to schedule the remainder… there’s only 18 days of school left until the end of the semester and winter break, and only 16 for me as I fly out of here on December 20.

We did get to see a fantastic concert two days before Thanksgiving– Barenaked Ladies. Second time we’ve seen them live.  I think I’ve attended more concerts in the past year than my entire life before it. More on that later.

Much as I can’t wait to unleash scintillating prose in a topical treatise, I have to offer these scantlings of writing, rather than nothing at all. Not like anyone reads this, but they have come before and so shall they again. Ha!
